Gaston, Hugh. Whcse portrait appears in this history, is a native of Columbiana
county, Ohio, and was born on September 9, 1831. He was educated in the same
county, and resided there until April, 1852, when he emigrated to California,
crossing the plains with ox-teams. After prosecuting mining for about eight
months, he came to this county and settled on a farm, at this time comprising
five hundred acres of choice land, located about five miles west of Petaluma,
and here he has since resided, paying two visits to his native State, in 1863
and 1866, and remaining five and ten months with his brother Samuel. He married,
August 13, 1868, Ellen Gaver, a native of Wayne county, Ohio, by whom he has
three children: Mary B., Katie A. and Lulu J.
